It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A man had greatly wronged himself. When his death approached, he called his sons and made this will: "When I die, burn me in fire, then crush me finely and scatter me in the sea winds. By Allah, if Allah has power and control over me, He will punish me with a punishment that He has never given to anyone before me." His sons did as he had instructed. Allah commanded the earth: "Return all the parts of him that you have received." At that very moment, the man stood again in his original form. Allah asked him: "What made you do this act?" He replied: "O Lord, it was Your fear." Allah then forgave him.
